==Description==
 
==Description==
Designed by a student at the [[Victoria Academy of Arms and Technology]], the '''''Lao Hu''''' ("Tiger") is based on the ''[[Thunder (BattleMech)|Thunder]]'' [[BattleMech]] and is designed to correct perceived flaws in the ''Thunder'' by using new technologies available to the [[Capellan Confederation]]. The ''Lao Hu'' is built on a lightweight Chariot Type II [[Endo Steel]] that carries a GM 375 [[XL engine]] which gives the 'Mech a top speed of 86.4 km/h while sacrificing some survivability for more free weight and a heavier weapons payload.  The ''Lao Hu'' is protected by an impressive thirteen and a half tons of armor, making it capable of weathering hits from all but the heaviest weapons.

*; LHU-3B : Modified to carry a [[C3 master computer]], the 3B downgrades its autocannon to an [[LB 10-X AC]], drops a ton of armor and replaces the LRM-15 with an [[LRM-10]] with an [[Artemis IV FCS]].

Additionally, the 3C removed the LRM-15 in favor of three [[LRM-5]] launchers, giving it the same firepower but allowing it to spread it over a greater number of targets.<ref name=TRJp152f /> BV (1.0) = 1,611,<ref name=CO/> BV (2.0) = 1,878<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 137</ref>

*; LHU-3L : Introduced in the [[Jihad]], this version of the ''Lao Hu'' turns the enemy's equipment against him. It carries a [[Rotary AC/5]] in the right arm, while the left carries a [[plasma rifle]]. An advanced [[Targeting Computer]] ties into these weapons, making them more accurate.

The weapons have been replaced so it carries a [[Heavy PPC]], [[Gauss rifle]], and three [[Rocket Launcher 10]]s. The heat sinks have been increased to fourteen. To make room for all this equipment, the 4E uses an [[XL Gyro]] and a [[Small Cockpit]]. BV(2.0)=2,123<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 139</ref>
